Question
How much paracetamol can a 17-month-old baby take?
Answer
The recommended dosage of paracetamol should be calculated based on the baby’s weight, generally ranging from 30 to 50 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. Therefore, if your child weighs 10 kilograms, it is suggested to give 300 to 500 milligrams of paracetamol each time. However, please consult a doctor or pharmacist before administering any medication to your child to receive personalized advice.
